Achievements
The most important
one was of course representing Dewsbury East within Kirklees Council.
The second, thanks
of course to the good folk of Dewsbury East, was being re-elected with a
thumping majority for which I thank you all.
Keeping
constituents informed by producing and distributing newsletters, may I add all
paid for by members.
Holding monthly
surgeries and of course street surgeries.
Attending tenants
and residents meeting whenever I can.
Courses attended
I do of course
continue to attend courses whenever practical which enable me to better
understand and tackle the issues that we face in local government. This I will
continue to do.
Anti social
behaviour
Planning
Partnerships
Devolution
Local Gov Finance
To conclude dear
reader this is but a flavour of what I do throughout the year, but can I say
that my commitment to you, my ward and of course local government is
undiminished. We face many challenges in the year ahead but we as a group I
assure you are ready to face them.
